Really, the whole basis for the anti-AI arguments seem to boil down to "It feels wrong that a billionaire's corporation should be able to take the work of artists and writers and, without paying them for it, use it to create a tool that is then used to put them out of work." And that's absolutely 100% true, but it unfortunately doesn't hold any legal weight, and the terms we currently have to describe intellectual property theft simply aren't sufficient to describe what's going on here. Until new laws are passed, I don't see any of these attempts to stop AI going anywhere, but I'd love to be proven incorrect.
Most anti-AI sentiments seem like misplaced hatred of awful companies forcing nonsense on everybody, or a refusal to place judgement on capitalism itself.
